Petzl – AVAO European Version

The Petzl AVAO European Version is a full-body harness engineered for work positioning, rope access, and descent, designed to maximise comfort, efficiency, and safety for professionals working at height. Ideal for long-duration tasks, it provides superior support and gear organisation, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial or technical applications.

A standout feature of the AVAO European Version Harness is its semi-rigid, contoured waistbelt and leg loops, lined with breathable foam padding for enhanced comfort and optimal weight distribution while walking or suspended. The widely spaced, foam-lined shoulder straps reduce neck chafing and offer unrestricted movement, while elasticated leg bands help maintain a snug fit throughout the workday.

Adjustment is quick and secure with self-locking DOUBLEBACK buckles, which also feature anti-slip retainers to keep the harness fitting properly even through extended wear. The metal side attachment points fold down when not in use, preventing snags, while the ventral D-ring includes integrated connection options for attaching a PODIUM or LITEPOD seat, and a textile loop for securing a lanyard with a RING OPEN.

What sets the AVAO European Version apart from the AVAO FAST is its use of traditional DOUBLEBACK self-locking buckles on the leg loops, offering a more streamlined, lightweight option—while the AVAO FAST includes FAST quick-release buckles for rapid donning and removal, ideal for frequent harness changes or glove use.

The AVAO European Version also excels in equipment management, with five pre-shaped gear loops, plus two dedicated slots for CARITOOL tool holders or the INTERFAST connection system, giving you all the storage you need for a productive day on site.
